Counseling Psychology students bring back lessons from Mumbai

05/29/2009

Ten students from the Lewis & Clark Graduate School of Education and Counseling traveled to Mumbai, India in December 2007 as part of their coursework in the Marriage, Couple and Family Therapy and Community Counseling programs.

Teresa McDowell, associate professor of counseling psychology and coordinator of the MCFT program, arranged the international collaboration with the Nirmala Niketan College of Social Work. Sebastian Perumbilly, doctoral candidate at the University of Connecticut, co-led the experience. Here, Lewis & Clark students and Perumbilly pose for a photo with Nirmala Niketan faculty. All participants reported learning more than they could have hoped for.
